Deactivate LA Noire?
Right, I'm going to be wiping my 1TB internal drive in my best computer once I have backed up all my music, videos and docs (NOT program files etc. as not enough external space - only stuff in C:/Users/Piers will be backed up (aprox 530GB)).
I have many games installed on the PC, such as the sims 2 + 3, GTA4 + GTA4 EFLC, MS flight simulator X and so on, all legitimately purchased from high street retailers first hand. I know where I stand with re-activating the sims and gta4, but I am not aware of how Rockstar do activation with LA Noire. I already put in the code once to activate it the first time, but when I wipe the HDD and re-install LA Noire (along with re-installing everything else), what will happen? Is the code, unlike GTA4, single-use? If so, is there some deactivation exe that deactivates the code online? As the PC doesn't boot (it's nearly completely screwed), so the HDD is currently in a PC I built last night that would be able to backup all my user data to several smaller HDDs. If there is just a simple deactivate online exe, that would be perfect (as that would be able to be done on whichever machine the HDD is in, rather than needing to be on the machine it the HDD boots).
I just realised, flight simulator x? I think I read that that code is able to be activated twice, so I guess that isn't as urgently needed as LA Noire's solution, but I really dont want to have to buy both games AGAIN just because the computer screwed itself up (multiple BSODs, unusable, root cause seems to be GPU drivers, that issue seems to be mostly sorted, I just need to do a fresh install)
